on closer inspection turned out to be the dwelling

Nick Burns, one armed peddler, stabbed and
fatally wounded Theodore Richards, the prOprie-
tor OF a hack line, In Louisville, KY, Thursday
morning. Burns was standing in front OF the city
hall about ten O'Clock in an apparently 1ntOxi-
Gated condition. Richards saw him, and to pre-
vent his arrest concluded to take him home. With
this end in view he called one OF his carriages
near by, driven by VIM. Barnett, and after some
persuasion got Burns into 1t. They were driven
rapidly to Richards house, No. 1719 High street.
When they arrived at the house Richards got out
out OF the hack first. AS he alighted Burns drew
heavy knife with blade nearly five inches in
length. AS Richards turned to assist him from
the hack the knife was raised and plunged with
great force into the bosom OF the ttgoOd Samari.
tan" The blade penetrated within an inch OF the
heart. The horses became unmanageable and ran
away. Around the corner OF 18th street Policeman
Cornell was standing. AS he heard the Outcry
caused by the assault he ran In It's direction and
succeeded In stopping the horses. Burns sprang
from the hack and stood at bay, with his bloody
knife drawn. The Of11cer diSarIned him after
furious struggle and took him to Jail. Richards
died Friday afternoon.

AN IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED IN AN ENGLISH COURT

British courts at law. A dictionary would answer

eminent lords Justices, Cotton Bowen and Fry

appears, died, leaving bequest TO her "cOuSfn,

CloakS, or rather HARRIET that had been a
Cloak, but had married and ceased to be so called
and Harriet that had not been q Cloak but
had become one oy marriage. The testatrix s
cousin, Thomas Cloak, in fact, had wife
called Harriet and sister Harriet who
when the Will was made, had already for some
years abandoned her patronymic and become
Mrs. Crane. When OF these ladies was the person
designated In the Will? They brought the matter
before MI Justice Pearson, and he decided in
favor OF the cousin by blOod-tne Harriet who
was certainly cousin, but was no longer a Cloak.
The cousin by marriage appealed-sle who was
cousin. The full learning OF the judicial bench
has been brought TO bear on this knOtty question,
and the result, by the voice OF two lord Justices
against one, has been To give the legacy to the
lady who Is now beyond all question Harriet
